Is that a sort of reverse advertising? Will the fact that we'll be using our August Counterfeit Kits in all sorts of new places make people wonder "What on earth is a counterfeit kit?" and pop over to the CKCB to find out? I hope so - I can't think of a better way to help people USE up their stash - which of course means that we can BUY more :o)
For me, this challenge was perfect as I often take inspiration from several challenges at once - a sketch here, a colour combination there, and other elements from elsewhere - and this page is no different! It is based on the monthly sketch challenge at the blog for Sarah's Cards (my "local" on-line shop) and combined with the Weekly Challenge at UKScrappers which required you to scrap something from your wild side, include stars or flourishes and a life-affirming word or phrase.
The full story behind the page was my Sunday Story in April - and by strange coincidence the CKCB kit-to-copy this month is available from Scraporchard who were sponsoring the Digiscrapapalooza convention that our new friend Balinda was attending in the hotel!
The page is made from my August counterfeit kit wth the addition of some Doodlebug Sugar Coated Hopscotch alphas and shapes. Arghhhh! Now I remember why these were stored away in a little plastic box ... the glitter gets everywhere! Do you have any tips for making glitter stay put?

Love the cluster at the top and the colors are wonderful. Beautiful layout.
the colours of your kit are so inspirational - need to try and get some of my own. love this layout. The heart at the top with that little off the page cluster is gorgeous. But you know that I'd love that :-)
I love the rosette.
As for how you make glitter stay put, I'd probably give a burst of hair spray or other glue as an experiment but I've not tried it so can't make promise that it would work!
I love the design and esp. the colors and patterns..oh, and I do love a slushy drink ;)
Last time I used glitter, it was still glinting on my face weeks later! Your page is lovely - that teal blue is one of my favourites and I really like that cluster at the top which picks up all the colourd and themes. Great balance!
lovely page, great colour scheme! Thanks for taking part in our sketch challenge :)
As for the glitter if you like a glazed look you could add a coat of glossy accents over the top.

I just adore this page! The happy photo, the lovely colors, the embellies drawing your eye around the page. It is great!!!
Haven't got any tips for glitter I'm afraid, but I do love your layout! Lots of lovely little details as always! x
Love your page. Love it.
Tips for glitter? #1 don't ever buy it. #2 if you cannot resist buying, you crazy person you, THROW IT AWAY. LOL....Tara, who hates, no despises, glitter. UGH
I'm with Tara on glitter - but I do coat it with glue to keep it controlled.
As for slushy cocktails I have it on very good authority from my cousin that if it is slushy (or contains lots of fruit) it isn't a cocktail so the calories/alcohol don't count ;)
Oh, what a lovely layout! it sure shows the fun time you've had.
Really like this one! The colours are great and the papers are yummy!
Fabulous layout, those slush cocktails look yummy.
